My daughter in law has lost 4 stone since Christmas. She goes to the gym 5 times a week and works on a vibrating plate with a personal trainer.
Last month she did a 'Dryathon' where she was sponsored to give up alcohol,coffee,all processed foods and she lost another stone in a month.
She told me about coconut oil which she uses instead of olive oil and something called 'Agarve Nectar' which you can buy from Tescos for £2.50 a bottle.It isn't sugar free... It has 13 odd calories per teaspoon but it is low GI. Carbohydrate is 3.57g per teaspoon of which sugars are 3.04g.
"Our tongue jinglingly delicious Agave Nectar comes straight from the organically grown Blue Webber Agarve plant in Mexico. It makes a pretty groovy alternative to refined white sugar and artificial sweeteners and has a super low GI that banishes those sugary highs and lows.
Drizzle.Mix.Cook.
For a taste that's sweeter than a honeybee's breakfast,just drizzle Argave Nectar Light and Mild over food,stir into drinks or use in baking.
Ingredients. 100% Organic Agarve Nectar.
Storage. Dislikes the sun. Likes dry kitchen cupboards.

I use a VERY small squirt in my morning tea. It is very sweet. Kindof like a mixture of honey and golden syrup.
It isn't sugar free as I said but I have gone through so many sweeteners and this fits the bill nicely.
